“Talks Like Thunder will tear at your heart and take your soul on an emotional mission.” (Dennis Banks, author of Ojibwa Warrior and cofounder of the American Indian Movement (AIM))

“A terrific read!” (Bill Thompson, editor of Stephen King’s Carrie and John Grisham’s A Time to Kill)

She’s not sacrificing anything without a fight. As a survivor enters an uncertain landscape, can she protect the ones she cherishes?

Arizona Territory, 1871. Seven-year-old Talks Like Thunder can’t imagine life outside of her Apache family. So after both her parents succumb to deadly disease, her heart is ripped in two when her estranged grandfather takes her to his Chiricahua village. And as she blossoms into a young woman, her extraordinary insights into ancient mystical beliefs transform her into a fierce warrior.

Preparing to defend their sacred land from invading White men, the driven protector falls for a fellow fighter and his words of a brighter future. But when their tribe is captured by US soldiers, Thunder’s years in captivity fuel her to return to those she loves and take revenge on those who stole her innocence.

Meticulously completed posthumously, author Randal Nerhus has lovingly curated Marjorie Carter’s remarkable fictional account of one woman’s journey of compassion, loyalty, and respect for the earth. Through three interconnected tales, Talks Like Thunder’s struggle to retain the dignity and freedom integral to her centuries-old culture serves as a reminder of the spiritual strength revealed in Indigenous American history.

If you like authentic historical backdrops, empowered female protagonists, and triumphs of the human spirit, then you’ll love Randal Nerhus and Marjorie Carter’s awe-inspiring odyssey.

One of the best books I have listened to.

Talks Like Thunder is the first Novella in the Red With Native Blood series. This is a wonderfully written story of Dessert Flower and her journey to become Talks like Thunder. The first word that comes to mind is Beautiful, even though there is a lot of sadness in this story that will bring tears to your eyes in many parts, it is sadly the realistic truth of the of what happened to the native people. Being native myself I felt this book was written so well and truthful in so many ways, with great detail to the ways of the people, and all things that are important to us. I highly recommend this book. I can't wait for the next. The narrator Aubriana Harshfield did an amazing job.

Loved it

This is one of the best books I've listened to in a long time!!! I recommend it to everyone!

Amazing

Loved this book. Very detailed, and articulate very well. This author knows how to grab you by your emotions and doesn’t let go until the appropriate time. Strong story line and strong characters. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the rest of this series.

great audio

This is my first audiobook by this author which I look forward to seeing what is next for this author. I enjoyed how the narrator used different tones to make the story engaging. They had me coming back for more, just to see what would happen next. It is a story about a woman who takes you on a journey of compassion, respect and loyalty. There is an entertaining value to this story that makes it easy to listen to. This is one of my favorite audiobooks. I highly recommend this audio book

Fascinating tale

This is an amazing novella of Desert Flower’s journey. This really is a story that grabs your attention. I was intrigued at how she started off her life and how strong she became. She is a true warrior spirit. The writing is so flowing and relatable that you must continue listening while you work. All of the characters are well-written from Grey Fox to those in the tribe. They all grew to mesh well, as a family should. This is about a young, indigenous girl that becomes a strong young woman. She overcomes a lot and finds her family. It’s a definite must listen to story. I do wish the narrator could have given a little more energy to her voice. It was a tad dry and I fell asleep a few times. I enjoyed the story, not the narrator, so much
